Do you have a proof coin and want to know its value? Leave a comment/question and I will do my best to find out the price and history for you.

Several months back I got my highest graded proof coin from gyocomgd. They were graded by PCGS and all are PR69DCAM which means Proof-69-Deep-Cameo. Proof 70 is the only higher grade and deep cameo is a grade given to coins that exhibit a more cameo look with a frosted bust or head and a mirror like background.
Now how do I judge value for these. The Red Book only goes up to Proof-65 and doesn't mention Deep Cameo.
If I go to eBay and these have sold as low as $2.00 and as high as $29.95. So whatever the book price is I'll go 5 times the value that seems right because the market for these "slabbed" coins goes up and down wildly.

WASHINGTON - New golden dollar coins featuring all 37 of the nation's dead presidents are being made by the U.S. Mint for 2007.

President Bush signed into law on Thursday.

The government hopes the coins and an accompanying $10 real gold piece for collectors that features former first ladies will boost the mints profit. They also hope the dollar pieces will make the Sacagawea dollars a popular coin.

The obverse of the new dollar coins will depict former presidents, but not those who are living or have been dead for less than two years; the backs of the coins will show the Statue of Liberty.

Four coins a year will be issued, beginning in 2007, in the presidents' order of service. The treasury secretary will have authority over the designs.

Also a gold bullion coin program bearing images of former first ladies and emblems of their causes on $10 coins. Companion coins for those presidents who had no spouse will show images of liberty and themes of the presidents' tenures. The coins will be 99.99 percent pure gold.

Do you have currency and want to know its value? Leave a comment/question and I will do my best to find out the price and history for you.

I did not start collecting notes/paper currency until even after I had some two dollar bills. I used the two dollar bills to buy stuff and years later when I started collecting again I vowed to find more two dollar bills.

Eventually I found the two dollar bills from many years and expanded my notes to old dollars and also star notes.

Star notes are replacement bills used by the government when regular issues are defective. They are rarer then regular notes.
